Mitral valve implants and devices, kits and methods are provided for mitral valve repair. Devices comprise a body attachable onto the mitral valve annulus and a bridge connected to the body by two legs which are configured to support and position the bridge within a left ventricle (LV) of the patient when the device body is implanted, so that the legs and the bridge avoid contact with the LV walls, papillary muscles and chordae during operation of the heart. The bridge may be used to anchor valve leaflet tissue, provide support for leaflet re-modelling, possibly using external tissue, and/or anchor artificial chords used to modify and repair the operation of the mitral valve. Related medical procedures as well as kits and related utensils are also provided.
